Hi everyone, I am pleased to announce that the libRUIN project has made a new formal development release, version 0.1.4.
Our project description, from Savannah: libRUIN (Renderer for User Interfaces in Ncurses) is a rendering library for various XML-based user interface markup languages (such as Mozilla XUL), using the Ncurses terminal control library as a rendering target. GNU Guile and the SDOM Scheme module are used as the "glue" that manages user input and event handling. An application programmer passes an XML document (including, potentially, a set of CSS stylesheets) and an Ncurses WINDOW structure, and libRUIN paints the WINDOW according to the markup and CSS; the programmer may subsequently pass Ncurses-style input strings to that WINDOW via libRUIN, and libRUIN will handle the resulting event flows. This release features the addition of a working automatic table layout algorithm, greatly increasing the utility of the renderer when it comes to documents of any significant complexity. The newest versions of the supporting Scheme modules SCSS and SDOM have been integrated, allowing for Unicode support and automatic detection of XML dialect. A pesky race on Guile's GC that caused some annoying rendering corruption has been pinned down and fixed. More tests have been added to the test suite from the W3C's CSS2.1 test suite. A bunch of smaller fixes have been made, as well: See the NEWS file and the ChangeLogs included in the distribution for a detailed list of changes. For more information, swing by http://www.nongnu.org/libruin or check out our project page on Savannah, at http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/libruin -- you can pick up the release from the downloads section. _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
